  • Interesting, but terrible Audio

    This is a great aggregation of interesting and relevant science by the ESC, but the audio quality is atrocious! Please have a professional studio setting for the interviews, at times the Podcast is barely comprehensible!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Cardio-Oncology and Heart Failure
Q: How important is the multidisciplinary team in cardio-oncology, and what roles do different specialists play?
A multidisciplinary team is essential; cardiologists, oncologists, imaging specialists, pharmacists, electrophysiologists, onco-rehab, internists, endocrinologists and general cardiologists must collaborate to tailor care and avoid fragmented decisions.
Cardio-Oncology and Heart Failure
Q: What are the key strategies for early detection and monitoring of cardiac toxicity during cancer treatment?
Assess baseline risk, consider patient and treatment factors, use targeted baseline testing (ECG, echo, biomarkers) and monitor with imaging and biomarkers during treatment based on risk to guide pathways.
Cardio-Oncology and Heart Failure
Q: Why has cardio-oncology become such an important area in cardiovascular medicine today?
Because cancer therapies are becoming more effective and patients survive longer, leading to more therapy-related toxicities and a growing need to manage cardiovascular risk in cancer survivors.
Valvular heart disease: a new chapter in heart failure management
Q: And when is the right time to consider valve intervention?
Intervention should be individualized and timed after comprehensive optimization of medical therapy and diuresis; anatomical and functional assessment guides candidacy for procedures like mitral or tricuspid interventions, with trans-catheter options considered in patients who remain symptomatic despite optimized medical therapy and appropriate risk profiles.
Valvular heart disease: a new chapter in heart failure management
Q: Professor, in patients with heart failure and secondary mitral or tricuspid regurgitation, how should we approach management? Should we focus on optimizing guideline-directed heart failure therapy first?
The core approach is to optimize guideline-directed medical therapy to reduce regurgitation magnitude, then consider device or surgical interventions if the patient remains symptomatic or has significant anatomical suitability; diuretics, ARNIs/ACEs, beta-blockers, MRAs, and SGLT2 inhibitors form the backbone, with CRT and eventually trans-catheter options considered when appropriate.
